Using Kibana with SAML authentication

For Kibana SAML authentication to work you need at least the Search Guard Kibana Plugin v14 and above.

Since most of the SAML specific configuration is done in Search Guard, just activate SAML in your kibana.yml by adding:

searchguard.auth.type: "saml"

In addition the Kibana endpoint for validating the SAML assertions must be whitelisted:

server.xsrf.whitelist: ["/searchguard/saml/acs"]

If you use the logout POST binding, you also need to whitelist the logout endpoint:

server.xsrf.whitelist: ["/searchguard/saml/acs", "/searchguard/saml/logout"]
